Dude, I can't. It's kinda hooked up and running, y'know.
And I'm busy playing PS3...... so you'll just need to find the manual or something.


Thanks for the tips. I recently read about algae growing in the clear tubes.. We'll see how it goes and if stuff starts growing in there, it should be too much trouble to change out with black tubing.

the manual sucks twat

lol... OC doesn't know what she started with that one..

did you use the same size tubing for the inlet and outlet?

the website says Inlet: 1/2" and Outlet: 5/8" Barb....

but the barbs are both the same size (accept 1/2 and 5/8)

Yeah, I used the same size tubing for the whole thing - 1/2 inch internal diameter. Both of the barbed input/output thingamabobs are the same size on mine.

idk what i just used, but i used bigger tube on the input and smaller on the output.

meh.

hi. quick question: have you experienced any condensation issues?

Hi
When the chiller is set to 58F, there are no problems at all with condensation. My central air conditioner is set to 75F. Now, when I was testing the chiller and the water temp got down to around 55F, that's when I started seeing condensation.

I can't wait to see pics of some strawberries!

i need to get a chiller because i live in the Puget sound and live stock would be free now i want one to

That is a very slick, clean setup. Can't wait to see it progress and get stocked. I have a feeling this thing is going to be awesome

Looking forward to seeing this stocked and set up.

Thanks, guys.. talking about getting livestock in the near future.

Interesting - looks like my 100g African Cichlid tank! I love the river stones - what critters do you plan on stocking with when your ready?

I love the idea and the stones! I had the priviledge of raising about 50 baby chinook salmon when I lived in western washington in my 40 gallon tall. Got some rock from the river, river water, and set up a big ol canister fluval outside in the garage for it all.

Your setup makes me hearken back to those days....

Such a fun idea!!!

Corynactis (strawberry nems) to start off with.. and anything else I can get my hands on that will work in a 10 gal.


Well, that sounds neat!

Was great til we had to release them in the river. Won't hijack your thread any further. Your tank looks like its going to be wonderful!

So ya, one of my LFSs has two waratah nems in stock....

Hmmmmm....

Get them!!!!

I just emailed the LFS, asking them to hold the nems for me. $40 each isn't bad, right? My LFSs are usually insanely overpriced.. Going to go check them out tomorrow most likely.

I have a proposition for you. We need to talk.

This could be good...........

So, I'm not sure if this is the appropriate place, but I'm just wondering, do you not need such intense light for CW tanks? It doesn't seem like you're running any thing to "fancy." So the only expensive part of setting one of these up is the chiller? (and stocking it of course.)

I'm sure some CW livestock require higher lighting, but the type of nems that I want to keep really aren't picky at all. I'm still very much a CW noob, lol. Basically, they don't require high lighting, but do require being fed a couple times a week at least.
Yeah, a chiller and insulation around the tank to keep the temp stable are probably most important.

Now I'm torn between a new Maco tank and a Cold Water...

Thanks for the info Lalani. The tank is looking beast, by the way. I'm seeing a sexy tank in the not to distant future.

Pics or it didn't happen.


Sowwy A.....I couldn't help myself.

I don't know if I missed something but why is everyone changing their avatars???

Also, I can hook you up with coldwater fish

O ok thanks. Weird lol. I like to bother pickle too much, I don't think I will participate

They're home.

I turned off the chiller to the cw tank last night and let the water get up to room temp, since the nems have been kept in tropical temps. The LFS owner removed the smaller one (size of a gumball) from the rocks, so it's free floating, but the larger (3x the size, at least) is attached to a piece of LR. Despite the conditions, they are looking great! Deep red color and healthy. I'll slowly bring the water temp down over the next couple of weeks and keep an eye on them.

I KNOW YOUR REAL NAME
hahah sexy nemssss

Yeah, I think most people, who read my threads, know my name.

And yes, they are beautimous.

So colorful! If only aiptasia looked nice like your waratahs, then I wouldn't be so annoyed by them.

I have something goofy to say here, so hopefully you will take it in jest and not be offended.
First, I found this nem at the jetties in PCB, and it looks quite a bit like the nems you got from the lfs at tropical temperature. I know I'm not the photographer you are so you may not see the resemblance, but thought it was interesting anyway.


Secondly, while I've known your real name for a long time, I've continued to use your "stage name" so I can enjoy the weird confusion my brain has when I think of you as a beautiful polynesian princess living in a bayou swamp in Louisiana (maybe with some connection to Jack Sparrow) rather than the rich, beautiful heiress to a toilet paper kingdom.

That nem definitely looks similar. Do you have any other pics of it?
Haha, yeah, quite a few people on the net have assumed that I'm Hawaiian or from some other exotic location. It's fun. And lol@rich heiress to toilet paper kingdom.

No one knows my name. Internet Ninja.

The new nems look great, and the name sounds so familiar for some reason. I think I might have seen some in the wild, but on the other hand, I don't think there from California, which is where I would have seen it.

Well, in any case, sexy 'nems. Speaking of sexy, you need a tiny cold water shrimp. I think that would scream "Lalani's tank."

The livestock in my jetties tank have an often annoying habit of taking up residence in areas of the tank that make it difficult to get photo's of them, couple with my lack of camera skillz, but here's the collection I made that day


Glad you could lol at my comment. I think I'll go watch Pirates of the Caribbean again.

What's yo name?
Waratahs are an Australian species. And hmmm, I'll have to look into small CW shrimp.


Heh, I think everybody has livestock that likes to misbehave like that. If it ever comes out into the open, I expect more pics.

It's a super secret .

Holy crap. Every once in a while I see you name and have flashbacks to promiseing to send you some of those orange ball 'nems.

Haha well, I saw red nem's in a pool any way. Unless I had an awesome out of body experience, they couldn't have been waraths.

I'll try and find you some cold water shrimp. I've got ze connections.

I know your name Psychosis lol. Lani, I can probably send you some shrimp/nems /any other sweet coldwater stuff later this summer. I just need to know how to box it and keep it cold haha.

PMs are super secret.

Oh, ha.. I forgot about the corys. The 5.5gal is dedicated to the few that I have.
Connections, eh?

I'll keep that in mind, Jacob, thanks!

Lol I got a new piece of LR that's just coated in them, a few that are larger than any others I've ever seen. Say the word and there all yours. I don't want them stinging/ getting stung by the LPS I'm suddenly obsessed with.

Haha not the most reliable Connections, but yes, connections. I'll keep you posted on the tiny shrimp front.

I'm gonna send ya a PM.

Well, they are doing alright. They both have good appetites, but the smaller of the two seems to have been slightly damaged.. haven't been able to get a good look at it in the position it's in.

Mr. Wallace. I'm a better internet ninja than you.

Lani, those nems are sexy.

Heh, I don't think he'll appreciate that..

And thanks, here's a few post-feeding pics for my own amusement! I don't think the little guy is going to be able to eat whole foods yet...

sweet nems and pics!

very nice nems.



have you seen these guys? sooo cool. Don't come as far south as Oregon though.

Thanks!


Thanks, Jamie. How's my little grumpy fish doing?
And cute candy stripe shrimp! I'm really getting curious about what type of shrimp I could keep in here..

Lani nice nems, but I think they may be beadlets and not wartahs. They look just like a beadlet D got from liveaquaria. Nice either way though
